Apple – An introduction to Marketing Strategy
This company almost needs no introduction. Although I am not really a fan of their products, there is no denying the huge success of Apple: the technology company now has the highest market capitalization in the world at $573 billion, which is more than Microsoft and Google’s valuation combined; the firm is the most admired company in the world; and the Apple brand value is worth $153.3 billion alone.

Sensodyne is a toothpaste marketed for individuals with sensitive teeth[1] and/or dentine hypersensitivity. It is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline which acquired it in 2001 in the purchase of Block Drug which developed it.[2]
The root of the tooth, or the dentin, is made up of microscopic "tubules" or pores. In some people, the root becomes exposed because of gum recession or gingivitis. Because the tubules are porous, hot and cold sensations (from hot or cold foods or drinks) can reach

When Apple Inc. begins to plan out a goal for the next best thing, it seems that they have a crystal ball that can tell them the future. Their innovative ideas have given people products that we have only seen in movies or read in books. Their planning of different ideas and goals have always been very secretive and give the consumer exciting reveals every year with an Apple rally. Apple’s planning has been ethically competitive and in most cases is the first reveal of its kind. They keep a strict

ambition: born in 1955 of a Syrian political science professor and a single mother who has decided not to elevate the lives of Jobs, adopted at birth by a couple of modest Californians, was marked by these values. It is also this culture he installed at Apple.

Strategy
Apple is one of the most profitable companies out there currently and this is because of their culture, creativity and innovations.

The goal is to make Apple the leader of the innovative computing and mobile industry that will change and improve the way we do computing now and in the future
